Upload too big it said

Here is what I'm getting at home on signal check pro...

So even know I can go less than a mile up the road and get incredible let speeds, at least incredible from.what I'm used to, ......you all are saying if I got a new phone, I wouldn't have to go up the street anymore to get high 4 g lte speeds ? That the new phone will be on a better band ? Because right now, if I go about 3/4 mile up.the road, I can get 12 to 14 mbps download, and maybe 11 to.12 mbps upload......at home, it's barely a fraction of that speed only 3/4 mile away....... So my question is, do the new phones have such greater ability to receive the cell signal and thus give out much greater speeds on both dl and ul

Sprint ....and I think if I heard correctly, I'm basically gonna have to buy a new phone every time sprint decides to change their signals, etc.....as a lot of us know we were promised 4 g when the evo came out, the 4 g model, I had that, then waited, then when I heard sprint got live with lte , I was promised incredible speeds, so.I shelled out big bucks for the HTC one, and that was I guess too long ago, now I need a new phone, .....as soon a I get a new phone and she'll.out another $$$ , the technology will change and my new phone will be requiring upgrades, I just don't understand

Fwiw, still getting only one bar on my HTC One with sprint unlimited, less than a mile up.the road, I get full bars, so I have been sitting in parking lots to upload my youtube videos since time warner cable sucks, I get 1 mbps with their broadband service, but 5 with sprint if I head up the road.......shouldn't have to buy a new phone every few months, I can't afford a new phone

Sometimes if I toggle airplane mode , I can get 4 g lte, for a short time , Sprint must still be upgrading, got a tower a mile up the road, using sensorly and mapping, I get a great signal and speed if I hang out in the parking lot in the supermarket

I am locked into a 2yr, and even know I can't get more than one bar on 4g LTE, the 3 g still gives me full bars, so I'm happy, maybe if I got rid of my m7 " dinosaur " as someone put it, I would get higher speeds.....

Anyone else getting the file too big message when trying to post pics/ screen grabs? Using the HTC one m7....

I'm only a mile or so away from the nearest tower, but due to houses and trees, usually only get 1 bar LTE , sometimes 2, but most of the time, I'm constantly going from 3g, to 4g..... Sure wish there was a way to get a better signal on my HTC One phone, but with the higher speeds, come drastically reduced range.

If I cycle airplane mode several times, I can get one bar of 4g here at home but if I move around the yard much, it switches to 3g..... Mile up the road, full bars of 4 g LTE and triple the DL and double to triple the upload speeds....it's amazing how short range these towers have.. Wish they had a way to have the range of old analog with the speeds of LTE, I remember my old 800mhz ameritec phone I think it was a long time ago, that thing would get a strong signal anywhere, guess the new towers just are too low powered ? Is there anything I can do to get more than a bar of lte at home, I'm only a mile and a half from the tower closest to me....my area is officially launched as well and if I didn't have home wifi, I would be in the supermarket parking lot a mile up.the road every time I needed to.upload my 2-3 min HE vids from my phone to YouTube and other sites which is often !! I'm holding out hope that my speeds increase in the future

I was reading about tilt, and if the tilt is more to the ground, the immediate area sees big time speeds but shorter range, if aimed higher, a bit slower but larger area, if this is true, that would be awesome.... And would explain why the DL and upload speeds are so high a mere half mile away to a mile away...... I would be happy with the 12 -14Mb speeds I have tested and verified in the supermarket parking lot just up.the street, I do a lot of uploading to.YouTube in HD and a lot of other streaming like music etc and I do have home wifi but lately so many frequent outages lasting from an hour to all afternoon locally so with warner cable.....which has only about 3 mbps upload speeds in my tier, it would be great to see that 12 to 14 dl here and the 9-10 + UL, but only get a third of that, someone said it's because there are trees between me and the tower, since the terrain is flat....but..........could it really be the tilt angle, that simple?

Since 4 g LTE is officially launched and I'm only getting 1 bar and averaging 3-4mbps on my HTC One m7, would upgrading to a spark capable phone significantly boost these averages ? FWIW, a half mile up the street and I get 3 x the above mentioned speeds, if not, what can I do short of moving half a mile or so away, signal booster, downloading large files / apps takes forever and the 4 g I'm getting is just marginally faster often times than 3 g which I get a full bars, With one bar 4g, I'm missing calls sometimes, so now I have forced 3 g cdma only, I guess they need a repeater or something, been waiting years for the future of high speed data and and it seems at least so far, it's barely faster than 3 g, I hope things get better since I have a new 2 yr sprint contract and all the promises of this super high speed New network, I'm still hoping that my particular area will get a boost soon like I see a half mile up.the road

Yeah, this one bar of 4g, switching back and forth to 3g sucks, I'm paying a premium for unlimited high speed data and have yet to see it here locally at my house, a mile up the street it's pretty dang good, not here....

Sorry for the double.post, my phone has been doing this for a while, not just here, whenever I try to upload attachments........it says " cannot connect to the forum, if the problem persists , contact forum administrator " , then I try to hit resend after I see that, and same message pops up, then It ends up double posting......strange...... Is that S5 Amazon deal for $99 2 year contract price ?

Some 800 love here !

Some 800 love here !

Thanks !!!

Right now, my next big purchase that is a necessity is a new stove / oven.....tired of the microwave. And tired of grilling out all the time, and tired of ordering out or getting food delivered .......

Wish I could afford premier, but I love driving around and mapping streets on sensory, and I like talking about cell technology with all my friends on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube

Here is what I have done in sensorly so far...

I'm just down from Kuliga park which is on Bridgetown rd, I'm on powner rd, 1/4 mile from Kuliga
